Assertion : The refractive index of di...

Assertion : The refractive index of diamond is `sqrt(6)` and that of liquid is `sqrt(3)` . If the light travels from diamond to the liquid, it will totally reflected when the angle of incidence is `30^(@)`.
Reason : `mu=1/(sin C)`, where `mu` is the refractive index of diamond with respect to liquid.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

(d) For total internal reflection the angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle. As critical angle is `35^(@)`. Therefore, total internal reflection is not possible.
